How I spent my winter vacation: I scanned in as PDF's the first 7 year run of Erie Gay News (1/93-12/99). I figure that is 84 issues and somewhere between 1600 and 2000 pages. Ouch.
I also made some modifications to the code for the pages to handle different publications. (We might scan in the pre-1993 edition that was done by someone else, and I might scan in PRIDE News, which existed in 2000/2001.)
Now, all I need to do is to put all of the component articles on the web site. That might be quite laborious or not too bad, depending on how good the OCR was.
I also realized that the issue that will be cover dated for May, 2008 will be the 150th issue that we have done.
Well done Mike! What a huge task, but knowing you....I think you will still add the pre-93 edition and the 2000-2001 PRIDE issues in the name of history.
Thanks! I actually did get ambitious and scanned in all of the 2000-2001 PRIDE issues. I just have to find the pre 1993 ones in my attic.
